Hey, good night everybody! This is just around the corner!
I'm sorry to inform you that Eloi and I are the bad guys of the expedition, the ones who will ask you money --or the good ones who will pay you back some expenses ;).
We've put all the expenses together. There are still missing some extra things we'll buy there that we don't exactly know now, and there are some quantities that are just guesses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The expected expenses for the whole expedition are about 170 €/person (425 TL/person), but it could be a bit more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eloi and I have decided (if it's fine for you ;P) to proceed that way:
- On Saturday we will collect 350 TL from all NON-Catalan and 250 TL from the Catalan for the kitty (pool of money). Just to remark: we will collect TL not €.
This corresponds to 140 € for the non-Catalan and 100 € so that we'll be able to pay all the Turkish expenses until going down from Ararat (the 40 € difference from the Catalans comes from the fact that we will have already paid about 400 € and we are 10).
NOTE FOR THE CATALANS: the ones who have not paid anything should bring the extra 40 € so we can pay back to the people who already spent money either at the beginning or at the end of the trip*.
- Every one will keep the others 30 €/person (75 TL/person) until we'll be again in some civilized point (back from the mountain). There we will see whether we need them and how to use them in the better way.
- Of course we all should bring extra money just in case either in TL or € as we will be able to change once back from the mountain in case we needed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will receive an invitation to see the Expenses spreadsheet in a moment.
Notice that we have assumed the change to be 2.50 TL per €.
Let us know if something is not clear enough or you absolutely disagree :)
Good night!
Eloi and Xavier
*we can discuss this specific point in another thread of mails only for the people from Catalonia.
